This can be done using Docker, a simple and portable way to ship and run many applications and services in isolated containers. We will use it to install the required databases, web servers, and all the other applications required throughout this book, in a virtual machine created using Vagrant.

$> vagrant up
$> vagrant ssh
vagrant@vagrant-ubuntu-trusty-64:~$ docker start mongoDBmongoDB
